Reach Out and Read makes literacy promotion a standard part of pediatric primary care so that children grow up with books and a love of reading. Reach Out and Read trains health care professionals to advise parents about the importance of reading aloud and to give book to children at pediatric check-ups from 6 months to five years of age, with a special focus on children growing up in poverty. By building on the unique relationship between parents and medical providers, Reach Out and Read helps families and communities encourage early literacy skills so children enter school prepared for success in reading. Healthcare providers know that growing up healthy means growing up with books. The Reach Out and Read program provides the tools to help promote children's developmental skills and later school success.
